DISCLAIMER: Ok... I KNOW I'm going to offend someone reading this, so right off the top I will apoligize. Blame it on ignorance, I don't know, but after all this is the USA and I have the right to freedom of speech. I don't mean to offend...not at all.
:::Now, on to my blog:::
So, the Pope is visiting the United States. Ok. I'm not Catholic, so I'm sure I'm not grasping the all importance of this vist, but there must be something earth shattering about his visit to break in every 15 minutes to every channel to announce where he is and what he's doing. I understand he's a high-up dude in the Catholic church, but I guarantee YOUR shows would not be interupted every 15 min if the head of the Methodist Church landed at the airport. The way everyone is fussing over him is mind boggling. They are taking more precautions in New York City for his visit than they do for the President. In a way, they are making the Catholic religion more important than the others here in the US. What happened to equality and fairness? He is just a man after all.
Now, if God was visiting, that would be totally different and I'd be in the crowd as quick as the next person. But until I see the Pope perform a miracle, I won't understand. My Salvation doesn't rest in the hands of a mortal. I take my sins directly to God and He forgives me. Between the two of us.... the way it was meant to be. Until I face Him, though, I will be patient while my shows are interrupted. After all, it's only for 3 days. I have God's attention for the rest of my life.

it's okay...technically, i'm catholic, but i think the pope is a joke. for one, he's creepy looking...would you leave your kids with him? also (and i don't care what anybody says), he was a nazi soldier during WWII. i do think it's funny, though that dubya and the folks at the white house sang happy birthday to him...for some reason, that tickles me.
